Doomsday: I can see the health bar, kill monsters and drop treasure.

Chapter 731 Unexpected Person
Wang Tao never expected that he would see Ding Yuqin's husband Zhao Yuan here.

"He is actually still alive..."

Wang Tao's expression suddenly became a little strange.

In the current situation, Zhao Yuan being alive would make Ding Yuqin very embarrassed. Should I tell Ding Yuqin...

Wang Tao touched his chin.

He didn't care. Regardless of whether Zhao Yuan was alive or not, Ding Yuqin was his. After all, he had promised her in his previous life, and he had the ability to do so.

But if Ding Yuqin knew that Zhao Yuan was still alive, it would be hard to say. After all, Ding Yuqin and Wang Tao had not experienced much in this life, and their feelings were definitely not that deep.

As for killing Zhao Yuan... Wang Tao didn't think he was so shameless. With his strength, he didn't need such means.

While thinking, Wang Tao looked at Zhao Yuan again.

Compared with before, Zhao Yuan has changed a lot. He used to be gentle and refined, and looked very knowledgeable and a successful person. But now, he is wearing a suitable military uniform, with a cold face and a sharp look between his eyebrows, and he looks quite like that.

"Is this joining the military?"

Just as Wang Tao was stroking his chin in thought, a slightly plump woman with a cane appeared and walked towards Zhao Yuan.

Seeing the woman, Zhao Yuan's serious and cold face showed a warm smile. He helped the woman to lift her hair, revealing a face with several scars. The two whispered to each other for a while, and then left together.

Because they went through another door, Zhao Yuan did not notice Wang Tao.

"Mr. Wang, that's Colonel Zhao and his wife from our base."

The soldier leading the way saw Wang Tao's eyes suddenly turn to Zhao Yuan and the other man, and he immediately introduced them to them with a tactful look.

"Colonel?"

Wang Tao was even more surprised. In just a few days, he not only joined the military, but was also promoted to colonel. This was something!
As for that woman... Wang Tao could only say that Zhao Yuan had a unique taste. He didn't want such a beautiful Ding Yuqin, but he liked this lame, disfigured woman.

Of course, Wang Tao didn’t know what happened between them. Perhaps they helped each other in the apocalypse and experienced life and death together, so it was normal for them to develop feelings for each other.

However, there was one question that puzzled Wang Tao: Ding Yuqin had been unable to contact Zhao Yuan for a long time, and thought that Zhao Yuan had met with an accident. But Zhao Yuan was alive and well, which meant that he had not contacted Ding Yuqin.

Did he lose his phone? But even if he did, he couldn't possibly forget his wife's phone number, right? And before today, the communication had never been cut off. He was doing well here, so it shouldn't be difficult to borrow a phone to make a call...

"Brother, do you know him?"

Jiang Shixue was a little curious.

"know."

Wang Tao nodded without saying anything more. Let's do the business first and see him later.

"Mr. Wang, we're here."

The soldiers took Wang Tao and the other man to the command center upstairs and pushed the door open. The layout inside was somewhat similar to the command center of the Wuyang City Military Base.

"Welcome, welcome! I'm Bai Hao."

A middle-aged man in military uniform, looking very energetic, walked over with a smile. He was Bai Hao, the actual leader of the Redstone Base.

"Hello, I'm Wang Tao, and this is my sister Jiang Shixue."

Wang Tao stretched out his hand and shook hands with him.

"I never thought that you could actually come here from Shuize County, and there are only two of you... I guess it must have been very difficult for you along the way? But with your physique, you are obviously an expert!"

Bai Hao was somewhat moved and surprised. He did not expect Wang Tao to bring a little girl and a cat with him...Are you sure this does not increase the difficulty of survival? However, he did not ask in detail.

"It's really not easy."

Wang Tao nodded.

"Thank you for your hard work! It's almost noon now. Let's go have a meal together and chat while we eat?" Bai Hao said again.

In the last days, the best way to entertain guests is to treat them to a meal.

"That's great, I've been hungry for a long time!"

Wang Tao said with a smile.

"Haha, let's go then."

Bai Hao took Wang Tao and the other person directly to the private room of the restaurant downstairs.

This restaurant is dedicated to providing food for their military. Although the food is not as abundant as before the end of the world, the quantity is definitely enough. It can be seen that they are not short of food at the moment.

But since it's a treat for guests, the food must be better than usual. Bai Hao asked the kitchen to use fresh ingredients for today's meal.

"Alas, although there is no shortage of food now, these foods are all stored food from before the end of the world. There is nothing wrong with the food itself, but the taste is so-so. Fresh ingredients are becoming less and less. If I hadn't seen you come all the way here, I wouldn't have been willing to eat them!"

Bai Hao doesn't look arrogant and is very down-to-earth. If it weren't for the military uniform, one might have overlooked his identity.

"Then we're in for a treat!"

Just as Wang Tao and Bai Hao were chatting, some people in military uniforms came over one after another.

These people are all high-level officials of the Red Stone Base. When they heard that someone had come all the way from Shuize County, they all wanted to come and see who this person was and get a meal.

"Hello, Chief! I'm here to have a free meal. I hope you'll approve me!"

Some people also spoke frankly.

"You kid, now that you're here, can I still chase you away?"

Bai Hao cursed with a smile.

It can be seen that Bai Hao has a very high prestige among them and is deeply loved by them. They have a very good relationship. Although they are superiors and subordinates at work, they are also friends in daily life.

The status of the people in a survivor base can be used to determine the current situation of the base; the status of the senior management in a survivor base can be used to determine the potential of the base.

Wang Tao, from what he has seen so far, thinks that the Redstone Base is in good condition, both for the people and the top management. The Redstone Base can definitely be developed, and he doesn't know why it suddenly fell in the previous life...

At this time, three more people walked in.

A slightly plump middle-aged man in military uniform, a young woman with a cane, and a young man in military uniform supporting her.

Seeing this scene, Wang Tao felt strange. He had planned to go find Zhao Yuan later, but he didn't expect to meet him again now.

"Old White, you are so unkind! You didn't even invite me when you had something delicious!"

The slightly plump middle-aged man said loudly as he entered the door.

"Hey! Didn't Xiaolian tell me that you were drunk yesterday and still not sober, so I didn't bother you?"

Bai Hao spread his hands helplessly.

"Then I don't care, you have to compensate me with a bottle of wine!"

The slightly fat middle-aged man looked unwilling. Nowadays, both cigarettes and liquor are good things. Even in their base, they are very precious and cannot be bought even if you have money.

"Okay, okay, here you go!"

Bai Hao opened the cabinet next to him and found a bottle of liquor inside. Obviously, he had prepared it in advance.

“That’s about right!”

The slightly plump middle-aged man immediately took the liquor happily, then looked at Wang Tao and said with admiration:

"This comrade is amazing! He managed to come to Hongshi County alive from Shuize County! If we send out a large army now, we may not be able to make it. After all, there are too many zombies outside!" "We were a little luckier. We didn't encounter too many zombies on the way."

Wang Tao explained with a smile.

Naturally, no one would take this seriously, and just think that Wang Tao was being modest. There might be people with good luck in the apocalypse, but being able to travel dozens of kilometers from one county town to another in the apocalypse cannot be explained by good luck.

Bai Hao took the initiative to introduce Wang Tao:

"Comrade Wang Tao, this is Ji Chen, General Ji. This is his daughter, Comrade Ji Lian, and this is his son-in-law..."

"Zhao Yuan."

Wang Tao suddenly spoke.

"Huh? Do you know each other?"

Bai Hao and others looked at Wang Tao curiously.

At this time, Zhao Yuan was a little dumbfounded. He never expected that he would meet Wang Tao here!
"Brother Zhao and I are from the same hometown. We have been neighbors and lived across the street from each other."

Wang Tao explained with a smile.

As the saying goes, when fellow villagers meet, their eyes brimming with tears. It stands to reason that seeing fellow villagers in the apocalypse should be very exciting. But Zhao Yuan's reaction at this time was somewhat beyond Wang Tao's expectations. He didn't seem very excited, but rather a little... horrified?
However, Zhao Yuan reacted quickly. After being shocked, he immediately showed a look of joy.

"Yes, yes! Wang Tao and I have known each other for a long time, and we used to have a good relationship!"

After briefly explaining to everyone, Zhao Yuan looked at Wang Tao again and sighed:

"When the apocalypse broke out, I tried to contact you, but I never got through. I thought you..."

"Haha, I'm lucky. Before the apocalypse, I got electrocuted and fainted. When I woke up, I found out that the world had ended..."

Wang Tao explained with a smile, then looked at Zhao Yuan and said slowly:

"I saw the message Brother Zhao sent me asking me to do something after I woke up, but I couldn't contact Brother Zhao at the time, so I thought he had met with an accident... Now that I see Brother Zhao is fine, I feel relieved, and I can also talk to you about your request..."

"Cough-cough-"

Zhao Yuan suddenly coughed, interrupting Wang Tao's words, and then when no one else was paying attention, he winked at Wang Tao frantically.

Although Wang Tao didn't understand what Zhao Yuan meant by his wink, judging from Zhao Yuan's current mood, he seemed to not want to continue speaking.

So Wang Tao shut up and looked at Zhao Yuan with a puzzled look.

"Husband, what do you want to ask Mr. Wang for help?"

Ji Lian, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Ah? Oh, my family has a cat, and I hope Wang Tao can take care of it if he is able!"

When Zhao Yuan saw the black cat lying on Wang Tao's shoulder, he immediately thought of a solution.

"Oh...I see! This black cat is so cute. What's its name?"

Ji Lian looked at the black cat and asked curiously.

"Walking on the snow."

Wang Tao took the initiative to explain.

"Good name!"

Ji Lian didn't seem to like cats very much. After asking the name, she didn't say anything more, and didn't even ask to pet it.

Taxue glanced at her and then meowed.

Others did not pay attention to its cry, but Wang Tao could understand it. He said that the woman named Ji Lian looked at him with an unfriendly look, as if she wanted to kill him.

Although Ji Lian was just an ordinary person and posed no threat to Taxue, Taxue still told Wang Tao about this.

Wang Tao touched Taxue's head to show that he had received it.

Based on Zhao Yuan’s reaction when he saw him and Zhao Yuan’s current identity, Wang Tao felt like he knew what was going on.

But after all, it was a dinner party, so Wang Tao didn't say anything more. After the dishes were served, Wang Tao ate while chatting with Bai Hao and the others, and didn't say anything more to Zhao Yuan.

Bai Hao and his friends were still very curious about the situation in Shuize County. They heard that there were more than 2,000 survivors in the Shuize Base, which was transformed from Shuize University, and everyone was a little shocked.

"Wow! There are so many survivors! Wei Zhenguo and his team are really capable!"

"We left in a hurry, and there were many people we couldn't save. Fortunately, Wei Zhenguo rescued them! Unfortunately, they are too far away from us, and I guess they can't be transferred to our Red Stone Base for the time being..."

"..."

Wang Tao came to the Redstone Base mainly to see what the situation was like here and whether the people from the Shuize Base could be transferred here.

Bai Hao and his team naturally said that it was no problem. The Redstone base was very large, and it could accommodate not only more than 2,000 people, but also another 20,000 people. They were already discussing how to bring these 2,000 people back safely.

Wang Tao did not participate in the discussion on how to transfer. As long as they agree, Wang Tao will naturally find a way. But there is still a problem, that is, how did the Redstone Base fall in the previous life? If the reason for the fall is not found, then the Redstone Base in this life is still not very safe. Wang Tao came here this time, just in time to help them investigate...

After the meal, Bai Hao asked someone to arrange a room for Wang Tao so that he could have a good rest. They had a rescue operation in the afternoon and were going to get busy now.

When Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue entered the room and were about to close the door, Zhao Yuan appeared stealthily.

Wang Tao was about to say hello when Zhao Yuan hushed him, walked in directly and closed the door.

"Brother Zhao, what are you doing?"

Wang Tao was a little confused.

"Wang Tao, is she... still alive?"

Zhao Yuan's eyes were somewhat complicated.

"You mean my sister-in-law? She has food and drink and lives well. I will take your request to heart."

Hearing that Ding Yuqin was not dead, Zhao Yuan's expression changed for a while, and finally he gritted his teeth and said to Wang Tao:
"Wang Tao, since we have known each other for many years, please do me a favor! Don't mention the thing I asked you to do before! Don't mention her again, just treat her as if she is dead! Please!"

"why?"

Wang Tao asked directly.

"I'm sure you've figured it out. I've made a name for myself in this Redstone base, but it has a lot to do with my wife - my current wife, Ji Lian."

Zhao Yuan looked embarrassed, but still said it.

"I thought Yuqin was dead, so I got together with her. I told her so. She is a bit jealous. What if she thinks I lied to her on purpose? That would be troublesome... Don't worry, I won't let you help me in vain! You will definitely live here in the future, right? I will find a way to repay you!"

After listening to Zhao Yuan's words, Wang Tao frowned and said:
"Brother Zhao, this isn't good, is it? Your sister-in-law has been waiting for you to come back home, but you..."

"Don't tell him I'm still alive! Just say I'm dead - no, just don't mention me!"

Zhao Yuan looked determined.

"This... ugh!"

Wang Tao sighed helplessly, but he sneered in his heart.

Everything Zhao Yuan said was disgusting. Isn't he just an unfaithful man who abandoned his wife and children for his own benefit?

And most importantly, Wang Tao felt that Zhao Yuan was not telling the truth, and he was hiding something important...
